I purchased the PRIUS C without even have to Test Drive Nor to View the actual car when it was about to launched in Malaysia.
I Purchased the PRIUS C without Hesistation because of TOYOTAs Reputation and The World"s Number 1 status. I was very Confident with Toyota Quality and Reliability then.And moreover the leader in Hybrid cars too.
But am very Sad to say Am very very very disappointed with the PRIUS C Reliability and Quality and Sorry to bring this to your attention.
Below is the Chronological of event and details for your Attention and Action. Am very FRUSTRATED and UNHAPPY with THE REPEATED "HYBRID" Problems with the PRIUS C:-
